Even the occasional tornado warning over the weekend didn’t stop Tallahassee’s Word of South Festival<\/a>. The combined music and literary celebration simply packed up and moved indoors.<\/p>\n

One of those indoor venues was The Moon<\/a>, where the live music kept cranking both Saturday and Sunday. Among the headliners was Tallahassee’s own, Royce Lovett. A national star who couldn’t wait to play to a hometown crowd.<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to lie!” he grinned, while waiting backstage for his cue. “I’ve been waiting for a phone call from Word of South all the years it’s been going down, so when I got it, I was excited.”<\/p>\n

Over at the Young Actors’ Theatre<\/a>, writers Gail and Bob Knight were also excited about sharing their literary work.<\/p>\n

“When they first developed it, we never thought we’d be a part of it,” Bob Knight remarked. “But it’s great exposure for us and will help us promote our book, which is called Married to It,<\/i> so we’re delighted to be here.”<\/p>\n

Around three dozen other writers and performers were featured during the two-day multi-venue happening. Other locations were the Goodwood Museum<\/a> and St. Johns Episcopal Church<\/a>. <\/p>\n
